BREAKING NEWS: 

Far-right conservative activist murdered on campus 

 RIP Charlie Kirk

Sad. 

Gun violence. 

Political violence.  

this bites       damn gun violence      and now another lays dead

       Both CNN and MSNBC are devoting fulltime, wall-to-wall coverage of this murder/tragedy  (including their digital media websites)

as well as the radical right cable channel FOX NEWS

  trump orders WH federal flags to be lowered to half staff to honor republican Charlie Kirk - who was murdered by a gunman today.

 Although a regretful tragedy, Kirk was not an elected official.

So, just out of curiosity,

when an actual elected representative - democrat Melissa Hortman, speaker of the Minnesota legislature - was similarly murdered by a gunman just 3 months ago, did trump order WH flags to be lowered to half staff to honor her like he's doing now for a far-right bigot and election denier?  

I know Minnesota state did, but can't recall one way or the other if trump's White House did?

Today, a person wrote on X ( formerly known as Twitter)

“If you're praying for Kirk, I'm praying with you!
  If you're using this to create a narrative of political
violence from the LEFT, I'm going to remind you that
a MAGA man/Trump supporter just assassinated
Democratic official Melissa Hortman and her husband
less than 3 months ago! ”

Another one tweeted:

“There’s going to be a lot of right-wingers who
simply deny that Melissa Hortman was murdered
by a right-winger, or pretend that event ever
happened. Acting as if political violence is
some uniquely left- or right-caused issue
will only escalate the problem.”

       Charlie Kirk

  We should all mourn the murder of yet another American to gun violence.

A few notes about Charlie Kirk . . .

(Source:  Wikipedia, which footnoted every comment)

- far-right, MAGA trump supporter

- founder of far-right Turning Point USA, frequently linked to racism!

- in January 2024, Kirk blamed DEI programs for national aviation issues, saying,

"If I see a BLACK pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified!'"

- Kirk has described DEI programs as "anti-White"  [of course this is completely false]

- Kirk insisted in March 2024 that "The 'Great Replacement' is not a theory, it's a reality." [proof of this Tucker Carlson-like bullshit?? Nope!]

- Kirk defended Musk's anti-semitic remarks, stating that:

"Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

well said

Look kirk was a racist and preached hate. People like kirk who always use the God thing, are such phonies, cause i dont what God would actually side with kirk and others. I also dislike the extreme people on the left who preach their bullshit.  Nobody should lose their lives over this kind of stuff. Problem is people just cant meet in the middle anymore to solve problems and that truly is very sad.

Trump without a doubt has caused so much of this hate in our country that its now impossible for democrats and republicans to ever agree on anything. Trump is going to go down in history as the President who didnt bring people together, instead he was the President that caused people to hate each other.

Trump am sure is very happy the medias covering this story, so that the Epstein stuff is out of the news for a bit.

 - In 2018, Kirk spoke at the annual conference of anti-Muslim group ACT for America

- Kirk argued that

"It's not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization."

[he actually said that with a straight face!]

- According to Forbes, Kirk is well known for "his embrace of pro-Trump and anti-Democrat conspiracy theories."

- Kirk said that Democratic immigration policies were aimed at "diminishing and decreasing white demographics in America."

- According to Forbes, Kirk promotes the antisemitic 'Cultural Marxism' conspiracy theory

- Kirk spread false information and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 on social media platforms, such as Twitter, in 2020.

- Kirk stated falsely that hydroxychloroquine had proved to be "100% effective in treating the covid virus"

and falsely accused Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of Michigan,

of threatening doctors who tried to use the alleged "100% cure."

           [yes, the dumbass MAGA actually made that false accusation!]

Controversial Charlie Kirk has many enemies.  According to wikipedia, he opposed gun control, abortion, LGBTQ and civil rights.  He promoted Christian nationalism, pandemic misinformation, great replacement conspiracy theory and false claims about election fraud.  Brookings institution study found that Kirk podcast show contains the second highest proportion of misleading statements among 79 political podcasts.

He truly wasnt a good person and just spread lies and bullshit to his many millions of brain washed followers. He found a niche like all con artists do. His whole life is about him telling people about his views for society, which are down right awful. Just go watch or read his views. People like him have created so much hate in our country. He was another religious phony, and i truly hate these types of people. They use Gods name in all their speeches, but truth is i have no idea what God people like him are talking about. The God i know wouldnt have anything to do with people like him.

I just watched another religious right phony on tv, the senator from oklahoma say all the shootings we have in the country are done by the extreme left and not done by republicans.  Do these pieces of dog poop actually believe the words that come out of their mouths?  Maybe hateful people like him, trump etc etc need to stop making their hateful comments that do nothing but help to create so much hate in our country. Just because people dont believe in their views, that doesnt make those people evil. I dont tell people my religious views and people shouldnt try to force feed their views on me.

I guess the clown that shot up the CDC building and killed a cop and the clown that killed the democratic politician in minny were from the extreme left, just to name a few.

To all the gun lovers (and i own guns)  stop using the bullshit that we need to have so many guns in order for us to stop all the criminals taking over and all of us not being able to be safe.  Pretty amazing the countries that have strict gun laws, dont have problems with the criminals taking over. Problem is lots of gun owners believe in fairy tales they have been force fed on them by con artist politicians.

Evidence Kirk was a partisan moron

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer fired the U.K.'s ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. Foreign Office minister: "In light of the additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the prime minister has asked the foreign secretary to withdraw him as ambassador."

Now do Prince Andrew
